Book now for this summer’s hot dance ticket as the Ardani 25 Dance Gala makes its way to the London Coliseum this July. Presented by impresario Sergei Danilian, this special evening features an all-star line-up which includes Natalia Osipova, Edward Watson, Ivan Vasiliev and Marcelo Gomes.

The programme will feature three exciting and diverse contemporary pieces, opening with the UK Premiere of Zeitgeist. Created for Royal Ballet partners Natalia Osipova and Edward Watson and set to Philip Glass’s Violin Concerto, the work is choreographed by Alastair Marriott and will feature other members of the Royal Ballet Marcelino Sambé, Tomáš Mock and Donald Thom.

Second on the bill is the UK premiere of Tristesse. Created by acclaimed dancer and choreographer Marcelo Gomes, this work takes its inspiration from French poet Paul Éluard. Gomes will perform in this piece along with Denis Matvienko, Joaquín De Luz and Friedemann Vogel.

Finishing the bill is Arthur Pita’s Facada, which was last seen in the UK in Solo for Two. Pita adapted the piece especially for Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev, from his original piece God’s Garden. Original music and traditional fado will be played live by Frank Moon.
